Chapter 2073: Trash, Useless!
Chapter 2073: Trash, Useless!
"You’re still too inexperienced in front of me!"
With a look of contempt and disdain, Jaxton Brightfall, the Second Master of the Brightfall Family, spoke, his gaze downcast upon Wyatt Barnes, like an overlord surveying and scrutinizing someone beneath him.
This feeling made Wyatt Barnes extremely displeased.
"I’m still too inexperienced in front of you?"
Instantly, Wyatt’s eyes narrowed, a flash of cold light passing through them, and his tone was much deeper than before.
If someone familiar with Wyatt Barnes were here, they would certainly be able to tell from his current reaction:
Wyatt Barnes was truly angry!
"What? You still doubt my words?"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes seemingly dissatisfied with his words, Jaxton Brightfall couldn’t help but sneer again, looking at Wyatt with even more disdain, a proud arrogance apparent in his brows.
"Jaxton Brightfall! That’s enough!!"
At this moment, Leilani Brightfall stepped forward from behind Wyatt, standing side by side with him. Her elegantly arched brows rose, a chill on her exquisite face as she spoke in a deep yet light tone.
"Hmph!"
Almost simultaneously, Wyatt let out a cold snort, the Holy Power within him fluctuating, already preparing to teach Jaxton Brightfall a lesson, to make him realize:
Who exactly was not to be trifled with, him or the ’Easton Family’!
Just as Wyatt’s robes fluttered, ready to make a move.
"Second Master!"
Suddenly, an urgent and hurried voice rang out from outside the independent residence where Leilani Brightfall stayed.
Judging by the voice, this person was not here for Leilani, but for the Second Master of the Brightfall Family, Jaxton Brightfall.
Instantly, the cold light in Leilani’s eyes grew even colder.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
...
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Wyatt Barnes also saw:
A middle-aged man, with an anxious expression, barged in, ignoring Leilani Brightfall, the owner of this residence, he rushed directly up to Jaxton Brightfall, timely reporting:
"The head of the Easton Family, Hev Easton, has arrived at the Brightfall Family with his second son, Bless Easton, along with the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Easton Family... They demand an explanation from our Brightfall Family for today’s events!"
The middle-aged man, also an elder of the Brightfall Family, finished his report in one breath.
And the content of his report could be summed up in one sentence:
The Easton Family had come to the Brightfall Family to hold them accountable!
"The Easton Family has arrived?"
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Jaxton Brightfall’s face suddenly darkened.
When he looked at Wyatt Barnes and Leilani Brightfall again, a cold, fierce glint flickered in his eyes.
And the group of elders from the Brightfall Family following Jaxton all changed their expressions.
"The Easton Family has arrived? And led personally by the head, Hev Easton?"
One Brightfall Family elder’s face turned terribly grim, then glared angrily at Leilani Brightfall, saying in a deep voice, "Young Miss, look at what you’ve done... Not being willing to marry into the Easton Family was one thing, but now you’ve gone so far as to harbor the person who humiliated the second young master of the Easton Family, Bless Easton. You’re playing with fire, openly opposing the Easton Family!"
"In Airebright City, everyone knows our Brightfall Family’s Young Miss is about to marry into the Easton Family... But today, our Young Miss openly paraded around holding the hand of some ’wild man,’ and even brought that ’wild man’ back to our Brightfall Family!"
Another Brightfall Family elder said angrily.
"Not only did she bring him back to our Brightfall Family, she placed him within her own independent residence... It’s utterly ridiculous!"
A nearby Brightfall Family elder said in a deep voice.
"We must hand him over to quell the anger of the Easton Family..."
Another Brightfall Family elder looked at Wyatt Barnes, saying in a deep voice, "Otherwise, our Brightfall Family will be in complete opposition with the Easton Family! At that time, the Fenning Family can easily destroy both our Brightfall Family and the Easton Family, erasing us from Airebright City!"
"Hmph! Are you too naive? Even handing him over might not quell the Easton Family’s anger... After all, our Brightfall Family’s Young Miss has given the Easton Family a resounding ’slap in the face.’ The Easton Family will never let this go!"
Another Brightfall Family elder, with a grim face, looked at Leilani Brightfall, blaming her with every word.
Blaming Leilani for offending the Easton Family!
"Then just hand both of them over!"
An elder from the Brightfall Family suggested.
With that elder’s arrival, bringing the message to Jaxton Brightfall, the scene erupted completely.
The previously silent group of Brightfall Family elders began to clamor!
In their words, they all blamed ’Leilani Brightfall,’ as if she had committed some heinous crime.
"Bring the two of them and go to the main hall to apologize to the head of the Easton Family, give the Easton Family an explanation!"
Meanwhile, Jaxton Brightfall also spoke in a deep voice, ordering the Brightfall Family elders behind him to bring Wyatt Barnes and Leilani Brightfall to the main hall, to apologize to the head of the Easton Family, to give them an explanation!
"Hahahaha..."
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted, spreading out.
This laughter was so unrestrained, easily drowning out the noisy voices of the Brightfall Family elders.
Moreover, a few elders of the Brightfall Family who had heard Jaxton Brightfall’s command and were just about to step forward to ’invite’ Wyatt Barnes and Leilani Brightfall to the Brightfall Family’s main hall halted in their tracks.
For a moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to the person who burst out laughing.
And this person who laughed heartily was none other than Wyatt Barnes, standing right beside Leilani Brightfall!
"What are you laughing at?!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes laughing at this moment, Jaxton Brightfall’s expression immediately darkened again, and he asked coldly.
His voice was not soft, faintly overshadowing Wyatt Barnes’s unrestrained laughter.
Even Leilani Brightfall looked towards Wyatt Barnes with puzzlement, unable to understand why Wyatt could still laugh out loud at this moment!
Although she had already received a promise from her father, Collin Brightfall, the head of the Brightfall Family, saying he would do his utmost to protect Wyatt Barnes...
However, by the looks of the current situation, it was completely different from what she had imagined!
Jaxton Brightfall and a group of Brightfall Family elders seemed to advocate handing Wyatt Barnes over to appease the Easton Family’s anger!
There were even elders from the Brightfall Family suggesting she should be handed over!
Of course, she knew it was impossible for her to be sent away, not just because the Brightfall Family couldn’t afford to lose face, but also because her father would never allow other members of the Brightfall Family to send her away!
Now, she was more worried about Wyatt Barnes’s safety.
Her father! Could he withstand the pressure from Jaxton Brightfall and others?
Just as she was worrying about Wyatt Barnes’s safety, she found Wyatt suddenly bursting into laughter, his laughter unrestrained, as if he was ’fearless’!
This left her utterly puzzled,
she couldn’t fathom why Wyatt Barnes could still laugh at such a moment, and so brazenly!
"Laughing at what?"
Upon hearing Jaxton Brightfall’s words, Wyatt Barnes also timely restrained his laughter, then looked towards Jaxton and the crowd of Brightfall Family elders behind him, responding word by word:
"I’m laughing at you big men, putting the responsibility of protecting the Brightfall Family entirely on a woman... In my eyes, men like you, who depend on women to this extent, are no more than a bunch of garbage, waste!"
Wyatt Barnes, with his unabashed remarks, openly called Jaxton and a group of Brightfall Family elders garbage and waste!
Garbage?
Waste?
Even a clay person has some fire, let alone Jaxton Brightfall and the Brightfall Family elders!
They were initially stunned by Wyatt Barnes’s extremely insulting words, looking at each other, wondering if they had misheard.
However, they quickly caught the rage in each other’s eyes:
They hadn’t misheard!
Wyatt Barnes indeed insulted them!
Instantly, Jaxton Brightfall and a group of Brightfall Family elders’ gazes turned cold, erupting in anger:
"Kid, are you looking for death!"
"What are you to insult us as garbage, waste!"
"I think you are tired of living!"
...
Now, not only was Jaxton Brightfall glaring at Wyatt Barnes with murderous intent, but a group of Brightfall Family elders present were also eyeing Wyatt Barnes menacingly.
As though ready to pounce on Wyatt Barnes anytime to vent the anger in their hearts!
Hoo!
Just then, Wyatt Barnes suddenly felt a fragrance waft before him, as Leilani Brightfall, after hearing his words, moved her graceful figure, appearing in front of him, shielding him behind her.
Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes felt warmth in his heart.
However, when Wyatt’s gaze swept past Leilani Brightfall’s back and landed on Jaxton and the others, he couldn’t help but reveal some contempt and disdain:
"What? Angered into humiliation?"
Faced with Jaxton and others who glared at him with hostility, Wyatt Barnes not only showed no fear but even coldly laughed further: "Or... do you think what I said was wrong?"
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Jaxton and the others, although exceedingly furious, had no way to retort.
No matter how unwilling they were to admit it, they couldn’t deny:
What Wyatt Barnes said was indeed the ’truth’!
"Now, it seems like you are eager to hand me and Miss Brightfall over to the Easton Family’s people..."
Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes changed his tone, straightforwardly continued: "Since that’s the case, Miss Brightfall and I will cooperate with you!"
"Wyatt..."
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Leilani Brightfall instantly turned around, anxiously wanting to dissuade Wyatt.
However, just as she spoke, Wyatt Barnes’s domineering voice interrupted her:
"Miss Brightfall, let’s accompany them to your Brightfall Family’s main hall and meet those Easton Family people... Maybe once we’re in the Brightfall Family’s main hall, those Easton Family people will kindly let us off?"
As he spoke towards the end, Wyatt Barnes’s tone indeed carried a hint of ’mischief’...
Of course, Jaxton and the others didn’t notice this point.
